Recertifications Will Be Jan. 6 For Commodities Recipients

EUSTIS — Needy people in Lake County who have been receiving free monthly commodities must come to the service center nearest their home to recertify if they are not certified beyond December.

Officials at the Lake Community Action Agency Inc. said the recertifications will be made Jan. 6. Hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. Centers are in Astor, Clermont, Groveland, Eustis and Leesburg.

If participants fail to recertify they will not be able to participate in the next commodity distribution, which is scheduled for Jan. 21, officials said.

Also, eligible people who have not received commodities before should come to the neighborhood center nearest them Jan. 6 to be certified. They should bring proof of family income for each household member.
